So seriously, what's wrong with me? I mean I know I'm ugly, awkward, probably a shame to be around. Am I really so very unlikeable that people don't even want to notice me??

Just goes to show how silly people can be it’s not you though.

Trying to be optimistic, but not havin' much luck to be honest. But that seems to be the story of my life at the moment. My voice recording isn't going well - I'm not great when it comes to the technical side of technology. I feel like I should probably give up on it, but don't want to because hate disappointing people. :) Wish I knew a bit more about audio recording, though - it's kinda frustrating that I don't.

You will get the hang of it I’m sure:). It looked pretty fun from watching the youtube tutorials, I can understand your frustration I’m finding that with some of the things I’m having to learn at the moment but once it’s braked down it’s usually not so bad it’s always the anticipation that’s worse I’m usually a slacker when learning new things which isn’t good but I can tell we are in for a treat so I hope you keep at it. :)

I was in a good mood, but now I'm feeling incredibly anxious and embarrassed. I was in the kitchen making my breakfast when I heard my brother come down the stairs, he just got up. He asks, "Where's mom?" and I tell him she's out on the patio talking on the phone, so he goes out there to have his morning cigarette. I go back to making my eggs, talking to myself occasionally because I do that sometimes, especially when I'm in a good mood. Once I was done, I just barely turn around and randomly glanced sideways to see this kid (about 14/15) sitting at the table staring at me the entire time. :eek: I nearly froze, he scared the living crap out of me. I kind of pretended I didn't notice him and headed out to the patio to eat, not to be rude, but because at this point I'm embarrassed at the fact that the entire time I'm in my pajamas, hair a curly mess, wearing my glasses (so attractive, I know :rolleyes:), and talking to myself only for some random kid to be watching me the whole time.

As soon as I got out on the patio I whispered to my brother who it was, since he looked vaguely familiar. I've only met him once, months ago, but never remembered his name. I do remember he kept staring at me then too, but I wasn't talking to myself nor was I a morning mess. Ugh, still pretty creepy though. Staring makes me so extremely uncomfortable.

Oh, I'm gonnae keep at it. It does looks fun from the YouTube tutorials. The only criticism I have of them is that most of them give the impression it's so easy to use, that once it's oot the box, yer ready tae go! Nae need for the manual, which in itself can be quite confusing for someone with no knowledge of audio recording - like me. :D

I'm mean it's awright if you're familiar with audio recording and know what yer doing (ie, know how to get the mic setup and volume levels right)

As I said, not really ideal from someone just starting out, with no understand of the basics. Much like learning a musically instrument. If I knew some who could show what to do, face-to-face, that'd be great! But, unfortunately, I don't.

I'm actually considering sending Zoom H2n Recorder back for a refund and getting the Zoom H4n Recorder - since that one actually has a tutorial DVD available to buy seperately. Might save a few hours lookin' through a confusing instruction manual?

I mean I'm still determined to post ma voice on here. Haven't given up on that, nae chance! I just don't want my voice recording to sound really crap and awful, since I really want to recite some Robert Burns poetry for y'all.

i've been so incredibly selfish these last few months and not true to myself. I didn't realize how bad I was hurting other people until yesterday..... and i didnt really understand what i was getting myself into, so i feel crap but ready to change, you can't hide from emotions, only pass them on to people i guess. I feel incredibly nervous to talk to the people i've hurt but want em to know i'm coming back. Just have to figure out the more specific 'hows'......

I can't claim to know you, Srijita, and I've no idea what you look like, but based on what I've seen in this forum, I have to agree with Graeme. You always have a kind word for anyone else who's feeling down, even a new guy like me, and you go out of your way to try to help people feel better about themselves. There's nothing ugly, awkward, or unlikable about that. In fact, it demonstrates the kind of genuine beauty and grace that makes this often disheartening world a bearable place in which to live. If we were all to meet up in the real world, I strongly suspect that most of the people who know you from SPW would be just as proud to know you in person and call you a friend. I know I would. Hope you feel better soon. :)

^ There's absolutely nothing wrong with you. You're one of the sweetest people I've ever talked to (even if it is just online), I don't see how anyone couldn't like you. :)

Just goes to show how silly people can be it’s not you though.
Thanks for your kind words everyone. ^_^
Sick. Laying in bed with fever.
I'm sorry, I hope you get well soon.

I'm sorry you had to go through that.

Feeling anxious. Today the property manager of our house is coming by to inspect it since there's been many complaints from the neighbors from all the bands jamming here. I'm feeling anxious because everyone who lives here now Isn't even on the lease lol. So today I'm not Cody, I'm some John guy lol. Hopefully they don't mind the fact that we remodeled the basement and the garage into two studios and that we built a firepit and painted art on the garage lol. Hmmmm I gotta slight feeling we may be getting kicked out soon lmao

While the olympics were on I was in such a good groove of actually going to bed at a decent time and waking up at a decent time. Now that theyre over my life is back to usual,having no reason to get out of bed anymore. Im back to my vicious cycle of going to bed at almost daylight and waking up extremely late.

I just woke up now at 5 PM-_-. *sigh* atleast its a really overcast and shi**y day out so I strangely dont feel AS bad.

If I say how I am feeling it will sound so lame and pathetic. I am trying to go on and continue my hopeless search for who knows what, but my coping skills are totally depleted. I am afraid there is only a wreck left of me incapable of anything. I am often thinking about running away from here too and live outside, but when I think of it.. even if I managed somehow, to what purpose?? Where am I going to go, what will be my next aim? To find some work of course, but they´d kick me out anway soon. It seems all so hopeless to me, it is as if my brain was is pieces, I am unable to see any solutions. It seems like my destiny is having to stay here where I am not wanted and only kicked into, because I have no worth and only take up space.

I don't feel like I'm really alive. I could might as well be a rock in someone's yard. Trying really hard to see the bright side of things but so far no luck.

I feel like **** =(

I'm having a difficult time eating from feeling depressed and anxious. I'm supposed to make a phone call today but I'm having a difficult time getting myself to do it.
Tomorrow I might go clothes shopping and practice driving, things that I usually look forward to, but I'm not really feeling up to it. Kinda just want to stay in bed and continue to feel miserable and pathetic.


Edit- I made the phone call and oh gawd was it awkward. I prepared for what I would say, but they said something I wasn't expecting and they sounded grumpy, so yeah. They said they will call me back. I am not looking forward to it. Grrrrr I hate phone calls!!!

eek hopefully you won’t have to chip out any more money youtube has a tutorial for just about everything, I found one where it’s doing a review on them but it also shows you how to set it up once it’s out of the box and I found another tutorial that talks about the mic gain and volume levels hopefully these will help. Just remember there’s absolutely no pressure but I’ll pm them to you. :)

it would of made things easier if it came with a dvd the day of the digital age who needs instruction manuals :confused:;)

Sick to death of having to force myself to get up in the mornings... I want to wake up and get up, not force myself to do so.

No pressure, I know. I just want to post my voice here, after all that talk about doing it... you know.
I know, most of these portable digital voice recorders would be a lot better if they came with a DVD included.
